Claude Memory Compiler

LLM Personal Knowledge Base

Your AI conversations compile themselves into a searchable knowledge base.

Adapted from Karpathy's LLM Knowledge Base architecture, but instead of clipping web articles, the raw data is your own conversations with Claude Code. When a session ends (or auto-compacts mid-session), Claude Code hooks capture the conversation transcript and spawn a background process that uses the Claude Agent SDK to extract the important stuff - decisions, lessons learned, patterns, gotchas - and appends it to a daily log. You then compile those daily logs into structured, cross-referenced knowledge articles organized by concept. Retrieval uses a simple index file instead of RAG - no vector database, no embeddings, just markdown.

Anthropic has clarified that personal use of the Claude Agent SDK is covered under your existing Claude subscription (Max, Team, or Enterprise) - no separate API credits needed. Unlike OpenClaw, which requires API billing for its memory flush, this runs on your subscription.

Quick Start

Tell your AI coding agent:
"Clone https://github.com/coleam00/claude-memory-compiler into this project. Set up the Claude Code hooks so my conversations automatically get captured into daily logs, compiled into a knowledge base, and injected back into future sessions. Read the AGENTS.md for the full technical reference on how everything works."

The agent will:
1. Clone the repo and run uv sync to install dependencies
2. Copy .claude/settings.json into your project (or merge the hooks into your existing settings)
3. The hooks activate automatically next time you open Claude Code

From there, your conversations start accumulating. After 6 PM local time, the next session flush automatically triggers compilation of that day's logs into knowledge…
